Without the above information and current for sale status there will be no authentication
 
Hi. Just my two cents. The great thing about buying scarves on TRR is they are returnable if it’s not on significant sale. Unlike their bags which can not be returned, “technically”. So get the scarf home, find great pictures of it online that you can zoom in on ( or ask a scarfie who owns it to take some pics), and compare with the scarf in your hand. Return it if you are still worried. Granted it’s a $26 investment. Many resellers are going to have some good fakes slip by.
Do some research on the ‘post the fakes’ thread to see what to look for in fakes. You can do it. Believe me. Best
Hints for buying at various vendors would reach a larger audience if posted in the sellers threads, more room to chat there

Hi, this is the poshmark link. Hope it helps.
Please ask the seller for clarifications and close-up / high res photos of all the features - see post 1 in this thread. Most of the p[hotos are not useful. One clear photo is that of the caretag. Not sure it is affixed in the correct corner though.
Note discrepancy text is for an etole, photos are of 90?
Copyright is either cropped out or blurry in photos.
Not loving the hems in the photo - lighting issues??

PS thank you for the effort of making screenshots, sadly these were not helpful, lower resol than the originals and details were cropped ??

Hi! Sorry for the blurry images. Like I said, amateur ‍♀️. I asked them for some more pictures. Also, I don't think this design comes with the artist's signature. I found a similar listing on Tradesy. Adding the link here. I hope this helps somehow.

Hi! Sorry for the blurry images. Like I said, amateur ‍♀. I asked them for some more pictures. Also, I don't think this design comes with the artist's signature. I found a similar listing on Tradesy. Adding the link here. I hope this helps somehow.
1. TRADESY info is not very useful, the photos there are not much better than the Poshmark ones, still a lot of photos of boxes … not the scarf
NOTE Tradesy photos were done in better lighting - not so dark. This is a good example of the type of lighting required for good photos
2. You did not get resolution of my questions on format - triangle or 90cm? I assume a 90 ...
3. I ASSUME your new photos - incl lady holding up scarf in hands - are from the Posh scarf, not the Tradesy one ... the new photos are in darker lighting than than the Tradesy ones. I discern the difference based on lighting , see item 1
4. Sadly, the scarf appears to have never been signed (?), one less thing to go on
5. All the PM photos are dark, I blew up the copyright photo and am still struggling to discern the direction of the accent, but I THINK it is OK
6. The TRADESY photos actually muddy the waters, there is no proof that one authentic, thus useful as gauge for authenticity

That is as far as I go on this scarf, I see no red flags but note all the caveats

PS as you are a newbie, I do recommend reading POST 1 and some of the previous replies in this thread. I listed my reservations about he scarf in detail so, you can learn but modern fakes are VERY ACCURATE and good photos covering all the features listed in Post 1 really are needed.
Years ago, the existence of a printed copyright was enough to ensure authenticity, sadly that is no more. We look at MANY features and make judgments on the predominance of the information, not just one good photo
